It's about sid barrett, the original golden boy of pink floyd. This is a continuation of shine on you crazy diamond. Sid barrett died recently at his home. He was reclusive and was believed to be suffering from asperger's syndrome. He reached for the secret too soon, and lost the light in his eyes. So sad.

It's definitely about roger waters, but i don't think it's david gilmour resenting roger waters, but pointing out how roger waters' resentment of david was destroying waters' life. I don't think roger waters was able to cope with the fame of pink floyd. Watch and or listen to the wall, it's basically about roger waters being haunted by his childhood and further haunted by his fame. I wish to god they could work it out, and i hope that they are able to take stock of what they accomplished together. The entire division bell album seems to be david reaching out to roger, and roger running away from the idea of reconciliation.

It's fairly obviously all about roger waters and the resentment that gilmour had for him - roger being the previous lead of pink floyd. The fallout they had was huge. They still not over it... Played at live aid i think sometime recently but gilmour did not look at all happy... Hectic stuff that fallout. I am not sure what it was about - probably to do with gilmour believing roger had gone too far. And also not agreeing with the musical style... Final cut - gilmour refers to himself and the rest of the band as studio musicians for roger's work.
